The first optical microscope was invented by Zacharias Janssen and his father Hans in the late 16th century. They were spectacle makers from the Netherlands and created the microscope by combining lenses in a tube.
The light microscope was invented by Zacharias Janssen and his father Hans, around the late 16th century. They were spectacle makers from the Netherlands who developed the first compound microscope using a combination of lenses.
Leonardo Da Vinci in the early 1500's invented contact lenses.
The best way to clean spectacle lenses is to use a specialized lens cleaner and a lint-free cloth. Spray the cleaner on the outside and inside of the lenses and gently rub dry with the cloth. Lens cleaners are available at most opticians, but be sure to check that they are suitable for your lens type. If you don't have any lens cleaner, use clean tap water and rub the lenses with your fingers. Dry with a soft tissue of lint-free cloth. Warning:Never use any kind of soap or detergent on anti-reflective coated lenses. The coatings will break down, and this will damage the lenses beyond repair.
Zacharias Janssen and his son Johannes (Hans), spectacle makers in Holland, are usually credited with inventing the first compound microscope in about 1590. (Hans Lippershey, a spectacle maker in the same city, Middelburg, Netherlands, also claimed credit for the invention but was perhaps more instrumental in the creation of the telescope.) It was said that the Zacharias Janssen was experimenting with ways to improve spectacles for people who needed greater magnification to improve eyesight, but nothing more specific than simply experimenting with multiple lenses can be associated with how he invented the compound microscope. It is worth noting that at the same time experimentation by other spectacle makers and lens makers was leading to the discovery of the telescope, another optical instrument of two lenses. Two decades later, Galileo Galilei built a compound microscope and changed the lens design lens (convex and concave lens).

The lenses get petrol on them.
Common spectacle lens materials include glass, plastic (e.g. CR-39), polycarbonate, and high-index materials. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of durability, weight, clarity, and cost. Polycarbonate lenses are often recommended for impact resistance, while high-index lenses are thinner and lighter than standard plastic lenses for higher prescriptions.
Not all... Some spectacle-makers use plastic lenses instead of glass.
